School Meals
We are very proud of our freshly cooked school meals in our school. They are lovingly prepared daily by our qualified chef using local ingredients where possible, including meat from our local butcher. We have a very high uptake of school meals which demonstrates the quality of our meals! The school menu is available to view in the attachments section on this page.
Knowing that some children can be particular about their food, pupils are able to choose on a day to day basis whether or not they are having a school meal. All Foundation, Year 1 and Year 2 pupils are entitled to a free school meal every day.
The cost of school lunches are £2.40 per child. Those children in Foundation, Year 1 and Year 2 at that time will continue to receive their lunches for free.
Meals must be paid for in advance via Parentmail.
